The MAX5889 advanced 12-bit, 600Msps, digital-to-analog converter (DAC) meets the demanding performance requirements of signal synthesis applications found in wireless base stations and other communications applications. Operating from 3.3V and 1.8V supplies, the MAX5889 DAC supports update rates of 600Msps using high-speed LVDS inputs while consuming only 292mW of power and offers exceptional dynamic performance such as 79dBc spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) at fOUT = 30MHz.

The MAX5889 utilizes a current-steering architecture that supports a 2mA to 20mA full-scale output current range, and produces -2dBm to -22dBm full-scale output signal levels with a double-terminated 50Ω load. The MAX5889 features an integrated 1.2V bandgap reference and control amplifier to ensure high-accuracy and low-noise performance. A separate reference input (REFIO) allows for the use of an external reference source for optimum flexibility and improved gain accuracy.

The MAX5889 digital inputs accept LVDS voltage levels, and the flexible clock input can be driven differentially or single-ended, AC- or DC-coupled. The MAX5889 is available in a 68-pin QFN package with an exposed paddle (EP) and is specified for the extended (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.

  • Base Stations: Single-Carrier UMTS, CDMA, GSM
  • Cable Modem Termination Systems (CMTS)
  • Communications: Fixed Broadband Wireless Access, Point-to-Point Microwave
  • Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS)
  • Instrumentation

Product Details

The MAX5889, MAX5890, and MAX5891 evaluation kits (EV kits) are each fully assembled and tested printed-circuit boards (PCBs) that contain all the components necessary to evaluate the performance of the MAX5889, MAX5890, and MAX5891 600Msps digital-to-analog converters (DACs). All three DACs feature LVDS inputs, integrated 1.2V bandgap voltage references, and differential current outputs. The three EV kits use the same PCB and components except for the DACs. The MAX5889, MAX5890, and MAX5891 are 12-bit, 14-bit, and 16-bit DACs, respectively. The EV kits operate with LVDS-compatible digital data inputs, a single-ended clock input, and a 3.3V/1.8V dual power supply for simple board operation. The EV kits feature differential current to single-ended voltage output conversion circuitry and offer an external 1.25V voltage reference that can be used to overdrive the integrated voltage reference.
